Kashmiri Dal Tadka is a unique and flavorful lentil dish from the beautiful region of Kashmir in India. It is made with a combination of lentils like toor dal, masoor dal, and moong dal, along with aromatic spices. To make this Kashmiri-style dal tadka, start by pressure cooking the lentils until soft. In a separate pan, heat ghee or oil and add cumin seeds, ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Once the spices release their aroma, add onions and cook until golden brown. Then, add tomatoes and cook until they are soft. Add a blend of spices like turmeric, red chili powder, and Kashmiri red chili powder for a vibrant color. Finally, pour the tempering over the cooked lentils and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. This Kashmiri dal tadka is a delightful and flavorful option that can be enjoyed with rice or naan.
